Oh Emily, this is heartbreaking - for you and for all of us who have been following your long struggle to care for little Bailey. There will be so many tears on this Board, so many prayers, so much love and support. I do hope that it will bring you some comfort and knowing that the little one is running free of pain at last.

I'm holding you and Bailey in my heart

So very sorry to hear this tragic news Emily.

It's truly heartbreaking to lose one so young, you always feel cheated on top of grieving; the only comfort is that you gave Bailey all the love and care she so deserved, and in time you will have some happy memories of your time together.

I'm sorry to hear you had to let her go, but you always put her welfare first and foremost.She couldn't have asked for a better or more devoted "mummy".Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Oh Emily, Im so sorry you've lost your beautiful little Bailey. I know how poorly she has been and I was so hoping that she would pull through. You had to put her first, as difficult as that decision was to make.

Im sure she's wrapped in the wings of our other little angels at the bridge - thinking of you xxx :hug:

I am so sorry

When God calls little puppies to dwell with Him above,
We humans always question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache can compare with the loss of one small "child,"
Who does so much to make this world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires...always calling the aged to His fold,
And so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them and so He picks but few;
To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, yet somehow we must try,
For the saddest word that mankind knows will always be "good-bye."
And so when little pups depart; we, who are left behind,
Must realize how much God loves puppies...for angels are hard to find. (--Author Unknown--)

I am soooooooo sorry and my heart truly does ache for you. These are just words but hopefully will comfort you in some way. Maybe just knowing that we all understand your love for your "child"--not a dog but a child. Hugs to you and with time you will heal but in the meantime the pain is sometimes unbearable. Hugs to you and again my heart does ache for you--especially losing one soooooooooooo young. Sometimes hard to understand why.

Oh Emily, I can't imagine what you are going through right now. I have followed Bailey's stories since you got her and started posting. She had a difficult beginning, but you were there to see that she had everything medically possible and unconditional love while she was here. I will keep you and your family in my heart, thoughts and prayers.:hug:She was truly blessed to have had you as a mom.

Emily, I'm so sorry you had to let your precious Bailey go to the Bridge

I'm so sorry to hear about little Bailey, I have been following your story since you got her and know that you cared for her so much and did everything possible to get her better. You did the most caring thing you could have done for her at this point, release her from her pain. I'm so sorry :(

I too have followed your posts about your precious Bailey, I'm so sorry to hear you had to give her her wings. You should take comfort in the fact that you did everything possible for her & to give Bailey her wings was the final act of kindness.

I am sitting here typing this through tears, I just cannot imagine how you feel right now but we're sending you lots of comforting thoughts & hugs:hug:

Emily, I went back to your first post of this thread today and looked at the photo you posted of Bailey looking up into the camera. She seemed to be looking right at me. If you are like me, that will forever be one of your favorite photos of Bailey. My favorite picture of Pixie is of her in a similar position to your photo of Bailey, sitting on the floor looking directly into the camera (ie: at me). In fact, it is my avatar. It is exactly how I remember looking down at Pixie a thousand times a day as she followed me everywhere and sat there staring up at me. For me, the photo of Pixie isn't her "best" picture, but it is the best one for making me feel, for a moment, that she is sitting there staring up at me once again. Your precious Bailey looks like she is doing the same thing in the photo you posted. I imagined that you used that one for similar reasons to my own.
I know you must be missing her terribly, and you are in my thoughts.

I just wanted to say a big thankyou to you all for your kind words and best wishes.

It has been a really difficult few days, and it is just so strange so be sat here without Bailey beside me, she was my little shadow, and we had the stongest bond, i have never felt like this with a dog before, i really feel blessed to have shared the past eight months with her.

The day i walked into the breeders conservatory, Bailey came straight for me, the second time i visited, again, she was first to me and wanted cuddles, my little girl chose me to be her mummy, thankfully i understood and took her home to be my little girl. She as such a lovely puppy, and even til the last, would stick by my side, however unwell she felt. She was my little baby girl, and is so sorely missed. I know in my heart that i made the best decision for Bailey, i just wish i'd hve had longer with her.

Thank you allfor your support, it means so much at such a diffiult time x x

Emily,Im so sorry that you had to make the heart breaking decision to give little Bailey her wings. Ive been following her story for a while now and am gutted that despite all the love, happiness and companionship you so obviously lavished on her, it could not pull her through this.

We are thinking of you (tears dripping now) and sincerely hope that the lovely memories you have of her will help heal the heartache.

Love my Cavaliers
